I honestly cannot remember the last time I was so moved by an anime. Almost every episode has at least one moment that tugs at the heart strings, and the series does a phenomenal job of making you feel every bit of frustration, anger, sadness, and joy that the ensemble cast delivers. Character personalities are not exactly reinventing the wheel, but they get so much depth and personality into each character that it doesn't matter. By the end of the series, you understand everyone's motivations, attitudes, etc. The music is excellent, and fits the story quite well. The animation is also gorgeous, colorful and vibrant. The writers focused primarily on the main cast of teenagers, but they did not dumb the plot down for you, constantly revert to gimmicky slapstick, or turn it into a wannabe dating sim.

But really, the true star of this series is Menma. Now, I know I have a reputation for hating all things cute. But sweet mother of christ, she is so adorable! She had a child-like charm to her, and at times provided some absolutely hilarious moments. Yet when it came to the serious moments it was hard not to get lost in the moment. Anohana truly succeeds in crafting an adorable, likeable character without making her completely insipid.

And when it comes to the ending, the series touches on all the high notes.

19 and 20 were kinda trollish episodes that made me be like wat? 19 made sense in the end, 20 I'm still not sure on.

Least Favorite Moment: episode 15 because it was pointless lol.

Favorite Opening/Closing Theme: only one of each. But both were pretty good.

Most Episodes Watched In A Day: 13 all tonight. Watched 3 on Sunday night, 7 last night and 13 tonight.

Other notable comments: The series never failed to keep my attention, though episode 15 is still a lol.

Ergo Proxy is a show about a post apocalyptic world where people live in a domed city called Romdo. The Granddaughter of the regent of Romdo Re-L
Mayer is a inspector for Romdo's Bureau of intelligence. and Vincent Law a immigrant from another city who became a autoreiv control officer in Romdo. Serve as the two central characters to the story. The Third main character a Autoreiv girl named Pino who through a virus obtains a soul like a human.
Which usually results in the Autoreiv control forces executing said autoreiv. Autoreiv basically = Android or robot. However this virus causes them to gain a soul and thus human emotions.

Early in the show Re-L is attacked by a creature in her home, and see two of these creatures fighting. These events begin the plot of the story and set up
all the events that follow. As it progresses Re-L learns that the name of the creatures she saw that night are Proxy's. And she sets her mind on
unraveling the mystery behind them, and about Vincent Law's past.

The Story is done very well, with the exception of the pointless episode 15. Which the entire time it was on only the word fail came into my mind lol.
Because it was so out of place in what was happening I just lol'd and then pretended it was just some pointless filler.

Episodes 19 was better then that. Though I took 19 as filler aswell until it made sense at the end when it turned out

to be Pino's dream and warning from a proxy who didn't want them to come there so that they wouldn't fight

Through out the show I was always interested in the three main characters and the things they were doing. And thus was never not entertained by it.
episodes 16-23 were all for the most part very good. with 19 and 20 being confusing at points until it was made clear what was happening.

The game show concept throws you off for sure, and it is hard to make sense of it, but the answers provided foreshadow the plot twist at the end and it is in the first time in the series certain ideas are introduced. Granted, it is annoying to use a game show, but the back story to the world is also provided in this episode. This is first time you hear about Proxy One, which is a hint at to what is to come. You also hear about the Boomerang Rocket, the fact that there were 300 Proxies at one point, and the explosions that destroy much of the world's population.

yeah if the back story stuff didn't start I'd have likely skipped the episode. Because the way it started without any explanation of how they ended up there or why that was happening left me like By the end I was wanting vincent to win the game without fail because i wanted that annoying game show host announcer guy dead. lol it never did fully explain why they were in that place or how they ended up in that situation though. which was why I assumed it was filler used for a info dump.

It'll be fun to see who got who, and while GMD shouldn't have to do this, we could also voluntarily post the original lists we received or gave to compare with others. I know the one I received was very diverse.

My list was pretty obvious, lol. I think it was relatively easy to figure out my list was me based off the shows I put on, and how often I talk about specific series.

Two more down! Hrm... So far I'm disappointed a bit that nothing really interesting is going on in my show. As I said before I feel there's a cool underlying premise, but they haven't even hinted at anything major yet in terms of plot... hope it starts soooonnn....

EDIT: I suppose there is also the fact that apparently many people around here love/like the show... Clearly I'm missing out on something.

Favorite Opening/Closing Theme: the first OP, I guess. Don't pay much attention to it though.

REVIEW

Shiki is an anime of the horror genre. This genre of anime is very hard to pull off because of the underlying fact that you are watching a cartoon but the anime was able to absorb you into the moment and it was able to deliver a very solid experience. The first thing worth noting is the setting. It's an isolated town and almost all the streets are empty. The surrounding forest gives off a very eerie vibe. This was coupled by a very quiet atmosphere as the anime slowly builds its story.
The anime plays off medical symptoms to make the vampire killing process look plausible and I love how it was able to build a mystery around. The villagers keep dying one by one and you can see Dr. Ozaki slowly get frustrated as to why they keep dying.
The anime has a large cast but the focus was never off. The cast was used to build a better understanding of the incidents. It's not long before the line between humans and vampires get blurred as one thing becomes common between the two creatures: survival. It's pretty much guaranteed that the humans will strike back but the anime teased it so far that you often lose hope. The twist comes when you absolutely don't expect it and it makes the moment so much more sweeter.
The ending was a bit of a cop out though but the story was never about humans killing vampires. It's simply about survival and the lost of reason while trying to survive. How far are you willing to go? maybe turn a small village into your own nesting grounds??

REVIEW

Fractale is a show about a guy named Clain, and a young girl he meets one day named Phyrne. Fractale is a system that exists in the world that is like a support system virtual world that governs the aspects of people's daily lives and basically makes them brainwashed sheep that can't think for themselves.

some people resist the system's influence and rebel starting a resistance faction called The lost Millenium. Phyrne is a run away Fractale priestess who meets
Clain during the lost millenium's failed attempt to capture her. After meeting with Phyrne she leaves a object with him that he analyzes and wakes up a girl from it that is a lifeform known as a Dopple. A digital lifeform with it's own AI personality. The Cheerful and carefree Nessa. It is from here that the story picks up and never lets up again. All three main characters are voiced by Female voice actors, including the lead male character Clain by Briana Palencia. Phyrne by Caitlyn glass, the VA who did Winry Rockbell, and Nessa by Luci Christian. all three acted these characters pretty well. The story, was well done, and the characters were all done well.
I will buy this one later this month. watched the stream on funimations site. This one is worth a buy though. I liked it a lot. and recommend that anyone that hasn't seen it to watch it when they get a chance.
